What to Do in a Road Rage Incident

If you are involved in or witness a road rage incident, you should never engage, exuberate, or provoke an offending driver. Instead, drivers should safely get out of their way and safely remove themselves from the situation. "You don't know what the other driver is capable of and may have a weapon with them," said the NYSP.
